Changes are coming in 2013

A lot of changes are coming to the Seamons Family. A lot of big life changes. Cole and I both struggle with change, but I keep telling myself that these are wonderful changes about to happen in our life. I'm really excited for the next chapter of our lives.

First of all, we are having our first baby! Due on June 14. That makes me almost 20 weeks. My pregnancy has been really good. I haven't gotten sick and have felt pretty normal for the most part. I'm starting to get more tired and my lower back has been hurting a bit, but I've been able to keep up on my exercise and that makes me feel 100 percent better! I've been doing everything I can so that I can be strong for labor and be able to bounce back quickly after the baby comes. We went in at about 17 weeks and the doctor tried to tell if it was a boy or girl, but she couldn't tell. So now I have to wait until my 21 week appointment on January 31. The suspense is killing me! Here are a few pics of my growing belly. I haven't noticed a ton of change yet. But I'm to the point where I want it to be noticeable that I'm pregnant because I feel like a just looker thicker and chubby.

The next big change is that we are moving to Idaho Falls and Cole is starting a new position at his company. I have had the hardest time with this big change as I will have to give up my job here in Boise. I love my job so much and have felt like I've learned so much about the business world. I just wasn't quite ready to give it up yet. I also don't know what I'm going to do with myself until the baby comes in June. I like to be active and busy. It just makes me happy to have a lot of stuff going. I want to find another job, but don't know who will want to hire a girl about to have a baby in a few months. I do feel that this is the best choice for our family though. The hard part too is that I'm in Boise by myself for a month because Cole has already started his job in Idaho Falls. I decided to stay here and work until we could find a place to live in I.F. while Cole is just commuting from his parent's house in Poky. It has been lonely here. My Mom came and stayed with me for a week which was wonderful. We picked out fabric for a baby blanket, watched movies, and went out to eat a lot. It was really fun and so nice to have the company.

The next big change is that we bought a house!! We are so excited to finally have a place of our own with a yard and a baby room to fix up. We close on February 4 and will hopefully move in on February 9. It will be nice for our baby to be so close the grandparents which is another plus to moving to I.F.  Here is a picture I stole from the Internet of our first home!

So between a baby, a new city, a new job, and a new house, we have a lot to take in in 2013. It should be a great and eventful year. I'm so grateful for these blessings! We have both worked really hard to get here and it will be nice when this whirlwind of changes settles down and we can get into a routine again.
